From anonymous people.
1:19:24
I get at least a letter a week from somebody who's worked at DLP or is working at DLP who is deeply concerned about your management of the agency.
1:19:32
Are concerned.
1:19:33
We've heard information from nonprofit providers that contract with DLP that indicate that the intensive community monitoring program has been disbanded.
1:19:44
Happy to hear that that's not true, but we would love more information on how
Juanita Holmes
1:19:47
The number has increased tremendously with ICM, tremendously.
1:19:51
Reason being because they used to have a smaller unit that monitored only 20 individuals in each respective borough with the exception of Staten Island with 10.
1:20:01
The way I did it is now that any and every probation officer who manages case by risk level, not by classification, can now manage a ICM case.
1:20:12
So therefore allowing for us to take on more ICM cases.
1:20:16
As it stands today currently, we have an increase in that exist in that formerly existing number of 90.
1:20:24
I think we had over 120 now.
1:20:26
The judge is aware of it, they like it.
1:20:29
If the counsel would help
Lincoln Restler
1:20:30
follow-up with the data that would be
Juanita Holmes
1:20:31
Yeah, it afforded us to take on more ICMs with the process that I put in place.
Lincoln Restler
1:20:36
We would love to get some information in writing on that.
